MK8DX Tournaments
The MK8DX tournaments are by far the most famous OVIOGC Tournament. 30 Editions have happened so far and the 31st edition is nearing soon

Classic Tournaments
OVIOGC Has hosted 1 Classic tournament which is a tournament where players need to complete tasks on classic NES, Genesis and SNES games to get points. This tournament does work a little differently than most OVIOGC tournaments. First every country only send 1 player instead of a whole team. This tournament also requires qualification instead of a selected number of countries competing. Which means all members can take part in this tournament.

As of now only 1 tournament has taken place but it was well recieved by the public. OVIOGC president Mark Chamberwell said: "We are honoured that we are able bring so many people together just to play games that are over 30 years old says alot. We are definitly setting up more classic tournaments and we are even trying to get more games in it"

The tournament kind of works like a Fifa World cup with the Qualified nations being devided in 4 groups of four. Than out of the four groups 2 teams go to the knockouts until eventually there is a winner.

Qualification
All Qualification groups were devided geologically.

Western European Qualification Group

Qualified

Withdrew

Western europe started with 8 competing nations but that number changed to 6 after Andorra decided to switch to the Southern european Qualification and Monaco withdrew before playing any games. Western Europe is also the only region to use the format of everyone competing at once.

Southern Europe Qualifiers

Qualified

Southern Europere started with 5 participants but that number went up after Andorra decided to change from the Western europe qualification to the Southern Europe qualification.

Northern Europe Qualification

Qualified

Baltic Qualification

When the tournament was set up. OVIOGC gave the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian communities 2 options: To compete in either the Northern or Eastern qualification. The 3 communities didnt was either so went for an other option: There own Baltic qualification. At the start OVIOGC wasnt to fond of this but let it through after both the Latvian and Lithuanian communities threathend to leave OVIOGC. which they allowed.

Qualified

Eastern European and Caucasian qualification

OVIOGC originally wanted the Eastern european Qualification to inculde: Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine. However the Baltic states didnt agree to this and created their own qualification. With now only 3 nations in it, OVIOGC didnt really what to do until the Caucasian countries of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan Didnt want to deal with either a own qualification or the middle eastern qualification. OVIOGC gave them an offer for them to join the Eastern European Qualification. Which Accepted. The qualification is also expected to increase with 2 new countries next tournament. Seeing Moldova will join the community soon which will likely choose the Eastern European qualification over the Balkan qualificaton. And also Kazakhstan comfirmed that they are going to switch to Eastern European Qualification after they where in the East Asian qualification this tournament which they didnt really fit in.

Due to loads of contreversity in the region the Qualification was split into 2 so countries that hate each other are unlikely to play each other.

Eastern Europe and Caucasian group A

Eastern Europe and Caucasian Group B

Eastern Europe and Caucasian Final round

Balkan Qualification

The balkan qualification was supposed to have 11 Participants but that number changed to 10 after Turkey decided to change to the Middle eastern qualification. The balkan qualification dicided to use the duel point system.

Qualified

Indian Subcontinent Qualification

The Indian Subcontinent Qualification was met with alot of contreversity with India and Pakistan. When it was Indroduced. The two nations didnt want to play eachother and OVIOGC wantend Bangladesh to through immediately. However the 2 communities have found a way around it by making the battles remote. The formula is the same as the Baltic qualification with every win getting you 0,5 point.

Qualified

Qualified

Rest Of Africa

Africa does not have that many OVIOGC Members for how many countries there are on the Continent. OVIOGC also didnt know how to devide them but decided in the end that all countries just mesh together to all qualify. Africa also used a interesting format. They made every game a elimination game elimanating the slowest participant, And the more games you played the more points you got. After qualification was over, OVIOGC banned this format being not completely fair due to 2nd place Nigeria having won way more games than winner South Africa did but South Africa played more games so they went through.
